Midland Eye Reviews 325

Efficient and friendly. Appointment on time.

Made very welcome and comfortable no long waiting

I had a vitrecomy procedure done in both my eyes as well as cataracts over a 5 month period.
I had worked myself up into a bit of a state before the first one. All the staff were faultless, kind, encouraging and wonderful, Carmen in particular was outstanding and I think she felt my distress more than I did.
The results from the first operation were better than I could have imagined, prompting me to put Carmen through it all over again.
I’m in my 70’s and have been wearing glasses all the time for most of my life, unbelievably I don’t anymore ( I do need a pair of reeders to see small print in poor light … but that’s all).. it wasn’t cheap but then what price do you put on your eyes?
Finally a very special thank you to the incredible skill, patience and kindness of Mr Park ..

Having completed the whole process for cataract surgery in both eyes, I can now fully praise: Jen for Clinical liaison, Nurse Donna, surgeons, Mr Barua, Mr Ting and Professor Shah, along with optometrist Zac for their skills, care and professionalism. Thank you all for your expertise, thoroughness and time. I now have good, clear eyesight and really appreciate the work Midlands Eye have provided.

Whole process from the start was very smooth and comfortable . Every care was
taken to make sure whole procedure was
carried in comfortable

I had a corneal graft on the 9th November 2025. Mr Barua performed the operation. He had already talked me through the procedure but I was still nervous. I need not have worried as everyone involved from my appointment to the operation and afterwards were fantastic and very caring.
I can’t thank Mr Barua enough for his operating expertise and to Kate Gerrard his secretary for all her help in filling in forms and patiently answering all my questions.
I cannot recommend too highly the Midland Eye Clinic.

In April 2025 I had a corneal transplant. This involved inserting the inner layer from a donated cornea into my right eye to replace my cornea cells which were vanishing. This is an extremely difficult operation and was carried out with great skill by Mr Barua, who at the same time dealt with my cataract. The improvement in my sight has been remarkable. In August 2025 in my left eye Me Barua performed a cataract operation while preserving the deterioration cornea in that eye, also a difficult procedure. Again the improvement in my sight has been excellent and I am now able to drive again. The care and aftercare has been exemplary. Midland Eye is both very professional and very friendly and caring.

My daughter has been a patient with Mr Barua for a couple of years and it's fair to say he has been fantastic in helping her manage her complex eye conditions. We had tried everything via the NHS but were fighting a constant battle and nobody seemed to be able to help her. Mr Barua has been kind and understanding and always happy to answer all her questions and reassure her when things aren't going so well. He has helped her to reach a place where she can have a "normal" life. Special mention to Kate who always helps when we need an urgent appointment with Mr Barua. The optometrists Herj and Mo are always ready with a listening ear and the support staff are always welcoming.

Everything about the appointment was excellent. I was seen on time, everyone was very professional and pleasant and informed me what was happening at each step of my appointment. Nothing was rushed and I didn't feel a nuisance for asking too many questions. It was a pleasure to attend.

Professional service and people. A very good experience.

My cataract operation.
I was very happy with all the staff who looked after me. My consultant made me feel at ease and kept me informed during the procedure. I found my vision in the operated eye to be normal the morning after the surgery. I am delighted with the outcome.

Professional and polite.
Wheelchair user, not particularly easy to navigate building but staff helpful.

Excellent from start to finish couldn’t recommend highly enough. Waiting for an appointment to have my other eye done, no hesitation.

The initial treatment was fine, the post treatment was appalling, only offered one time slot to suit the clinic, at rush hour on the m42, the staff argued relentlessly, despite this being a so called personal appointment, not really value for money! You may as well wait for the NHS

I had YAG laser surgery in my right eye. This was quick and painless with no problems afterwards, just clear sight. Staff very pleasant

It’s made such a difference. After an eyesight check up I was told I had cataracts. As I driver I decided to go ahead. Feeling nervous my appointment arrived, I had an idea what would happen but honestly it was painless. Everyone at Midland Eye were friendly and professional. I really didn’t realise how my eyesight had changed but having the first eye op everything is so much clearer. I can’t wait to get the other eye done now, I honestly would recommend Midland Eye.

Very good service and had a painless efficient laser procedure which has made a big difference to my sight.

Excellent, effective and efficient service - thank you.

The whole process of cataract/lens replacement was incredibly simple. My surgeon, Mr Barua was excellent. He is a refractive surgeon, so deals with some of the more complex cases where problems could occur. He is calm, considered and does his absolute utmost to get the best outcome, calculating and recalculating to select the correct lenses. During surgery we spoke and he told me what he was doing (my choice to ask questions). The procedure is quick, painless and I can now see extremely well. My result was even better than he had hoped. The Optometrists I saw were excellent and professional as was Mr Barua’s Secretary, Kate. Can highly recommend him and his team.

Very smooth process from first consultation through to surgery. Everyone was very professional and care was exceptional. Would highly recommend.
